Yes take away the one tool that is basically required for modern adult life.
Just wondering, in your own words, what demographic is this article is discussing?
*required by capitalism for "modern" life. Literally no one actually needs a phone. But samsung and apple do need to keep their slave labor producing products for consumers.
Ok, try living in America without a phone.
Like any phone, even a landline? I should have referred more to smartphones i guess. But still, the only reason we "need" them is corporate greed driven. No one needs more than a landlines or a jitterbug at most.
It's a fair point.
Phones REALLY enable stupidity amongst, like.... everyone though.
I'm not sure if there's a middle ground or what it would be.
